Fortnite has undergone multiple changes to its core mechanics with each new season and chapter, aiming to enhance the visual aesthetics and overall experience of the game. One of the more recent adjustments introduced with the launch of Chapter 5 Season 1 was the revamped character movement animations, aimed at achieving a more realistic feel for players, accompanied by a decrease in movement speed. However, this change didn't sit well with a lot of players.
In response to player feedback, Epic Games confirmed through a tweet that movement speed would be increased in the coming weeks, and in an unexpected twist, leaks from the new update suggest that these changes may have been implemented sooner than players expected, coinciding with the latest update that brought LEGO Fortnite to the game.
